StarCraft 2: SpeCial's NEW Battlecruiser Opener! (Best-of-3)

[@Askeladd_Gaming]

I'm a simple man, I see Battlecruiser... I click

[@d4niel457]

Same. I see bc and I right-click.

As you should. 👍

[@ragganmore6113]

I love seeing BCs being played. Pretty much my go to on Terran aswell. Their early power and late harassment is just fun to play and watch.

[@Mystyx-Sama]

15:50 Planetary Fortress HATS! You sir just made my day. I never thought of it that way, but then again I'm a crystal-lovin' Protoss player. What do I know? lol

[@conmanjones]

That camera jump at 32:07 was a glitch in the matrix. Lings pop moving right, camera jump, group of lings is in the exact same screen space moving the same way. Made me doubletake

[@bigbutterflyhater]

And just to think my parents told me you can't make a living playing video games well when you play like these top players you can

[@vladimiralexanderlagos1477]

Good to see Special still around and in good shape. I had become concerned he might be dropping off soon after he went MIA from the last couple of GSLs. He's about the only representation Latin America has in this game (Khelazur has never really been able to crack into the top royal elite status of the game i.m.o.).

[@ray_tracer_]

Special did a really good job harassing in the earlier part of the game, but when it went to the mid game he keeps getting caught here and there. The switch back to marines, medivacs and tanks on the 3rd game was a nice finisher

[@shazbotgaming7576]

I love how every time he sees someone with 69 workers his next sentence always includes the word "Nice". Quality entertainment with subtle "inside" jokes.

[@shybard]

I love BC shenanigans, provided that I'm not the one playing against it.

[@deckardtheslayer6360]

19:02 That Raven spin tho. Crips

[@laycey]

Game one that opener from special with the battlecruiser, marines, and flamey boys had the potential to close out the match, but was used with the execution of a bronze league player. quite shocking. The hellions were completely mismanaged while special had full attention available for them considering he wasn't using the battlecruiser practically at all, then once they got wiped by zergling surround, special didn't focus down low hp queens, or scoop his marines and run, he just let all the marines die, while letting queens run away and heal up while he shot whatever was closest. Truly bizarre gameplay from a pro

[@ianbohun1507]

I always think of TotalBiscuit and am so happy to see someone make his gold league cheese strats work. 🙂

[@Trif.Andrei]

Every night i watch your casts my wife say's "Loko and Zergs is the best white noise to fall asleep". 🤣 you'd love to see it!

[@mauholst]

Hi Lowko! Have a nice day! 😁

[@jeremymacdonald7266]

"69 is not as much as I was hoping for" -Lowko 2023

[@nehcrum]

He was hoping for the full homerun.

[@GameFuMaster]

Seems like TvZ is really about the ghosts and the value of snipes. Siege tanks seem to largely become obsolete mid game because of Viper blinds, Ravager biles and brood lords. Early game is MM pressure, and then transition to mech for the kill if bio didn't happen to win early

[@Mr.Faoustay]

The only thing I see that should be added to the Terrain build is maybe a few ghosts for emp on the Vipers/Infestors

[@daethalion1725]

Special was looking pretty jacked at Katowice. Dude must have been crunching weights and 1v1s!

[@Jbn0s0rus]

27:30 That BC has 42 kills !!

[@MFARIGA]

Thanks for the great content as always 😊

[@MichaelNatrin]

Fantastic matches & cast

[@ProCookin]

dude this first game is epic

[@huyxiun2085]

Noob question: 37:48 : does killing the "mama" of an ongoing (growing) creep tumor kills the second one too? Because timing, that's a rather rare event to witness in casted games, I think it just did at that time mark.

[@Echodonut]

It does not. The moment the new one spawns in it is its own entity.

[@TubeTAG]

Man, I hate when a Battleling roll by comes in and the Banecruisers blow up my entire mineral line.

[@lumpybus2025]

You could call it the Macro-Bat Build MBB

[@justinconway4982]

Dam special went ham in this one

[@CyrusCodner]

Every time I see a professional using a unit to perfection, it always seems imbalanced 😄

[@Yellowring11]

Today on stream you said that SpeCial has been more GuMiHo than GuMiHo lately, and wow. You weren't kidding!

[@J9045hello]

i dont even play sc2 hehe. never my thing (top 100 in shooters tho)... love watching it the most though; and these broadcasts are awesome. Thanks :)

[@machineelf9459]

As someone who mains another RTS (DoWII) I can’t help but admit SCII has the highest skill ceiling. Other RTS doesn’t compare to how difficult the mechanics are and the speed of the game

[@Tomoyuki_Tanaka]

Those were some SpeCial builds, all right.

[@InfernoKill]

How many kills did the bc have at the end?

[@T-adams]

“mmokay” -Lowko

[@ChristianSandviknes]

40:33 I think he was out of energy ?

[@spencerbeard3904]

"Battle cadooza operational!"

[@BjornAWarrior]

Lowko used the ability Click Bait. It was super effective.

[@Dr_Zusse]

Not sure if this has been said before or answered but has Loko ever done casting of his own games? Would love to see him cast his own games OR him and winter play a best of 5 and then cast the series.

[@rangafather]

Will admit, haven't watched starcraft II in ages but something bout the thumbnail, lowko must be a click bait king

[@GritimoTheOdd]

Time to see how old I am/ obscure this quote is. 1 1 1 build also known as the "Destiny Cloud Fist" build.

[@kevinmarsden4750]

H to the H ... usky

[@jackabeenyc]

I'm just not sure why you think that killing hellions with a group of lings is basically "for free." The fact that so many lings were made that early is a win. They could have been 7 or 8 drones.

[@TritonTv69420]

Lowko asking if he should cast special vs serral... me 🙄 duh.

[@Dr.Tropen]

Oi, this one be one of the better ones.

[@nenno6748]

Mechro Cruiser Build

"Ancient Cistern" ... I'm not the only one right? ... it means "Old Shitter"

[@montypython5521]

putting the battle in battlemech

[@Mrgoodtimes87]

I thought that a marine battle cruiser strategy would be worthwhile. This would be like death by a 1000 cuts.

[@wild_shaman]

Elazer is the strongest pro zerg. It seems he lives in gym.

[@jennybender2643]

The pp poem, perfectly recited by Lowko.

[@xejdikmiecik4137]

Let's GOOOO Elazer!!! POLSKA GUROM

[@Technoanima]

Definitely people underestimate how important more units are by using the supply hat drop vs. Mule. Early micro play vs. Mid/Late macro play.

[@Fr33zerg]

What do you think Lowko about all that reward decrease to sc2 pro players league?

[@ecotechpestservices]

I think I have a cruiser problem

[@RFGSwiss]

15:06 69 is nice indeed.

[@Muzly]

I've noticed all players walling the natural under all circumstances. Wonder why...

[@Moony-47]

im here dw

[@kardainzr161]

I'm commenting so you can see another!.

[@ObeliskM]

And thats why pure mech is weak vs zerg and rarely used. Because of infestors and corrosive biles, and relatively low mobility.

[@Name-ru1kt]

Battle mech is HIGHER mobility than bio. The difference is zerg doesn’t have a whole lot of anti air so they can’t actually kill those little planes flying around.

[@blackywokvesheart4304]

that was nice to watch, i like such thinks more than just 2 people going for the boring meta, thats the problem with such games, they getting boring after a while

[@bloo2937]

the speCial BC

[@someguywhoisswag]

with terran youre always losing until you win.

[@jacklynch3333]

Special maybe a little slower.. 😐🤭😂

[@chainsawfreak]

hi Lowko

[@alblar7904]

always happy to see a zerg player loses

[@СергейЦибульченко]

I read New BC builds like New Bullshit builds

[@Konranjyoutai]

lol watching the Zerg play the piano (aka use multiple spell casters) while special sieges and amoves a clump of units is kind of disheartening. What "skill" is being used here on the Terrans part outside of production? Even the BC micro is so extremely easy for the amount of damage it does.

[@Seageass01]

Back then,especially in WOL,zerg used to be considered the easiest race because their units didn't require much micro in order to be effective,but now once you reach late game army compositions with plenty of queens,infestors and vipers things become much harder to manage while the other two races pretty much just max out a lot of expensive stuff and assault their opponent,let's say through time the roles have been reversed.

[@Name-ru1kt]

Depends on how they play. Zerg is maybe one of the hardest late game to control but before that point its pretty easy. Terran can play things that are hard to micro like bio. Protos has this same thing robo vs skytal. Robo is one of the hardest or the hardest in the game but skytal takes almost none Zerg macro is the hardest for sure though at all points and thats not really up to much discussion

[@Konranjyoutai]

@@Name-ru1kt I dunno man...the Zerg is clearly using spell casters for most of the game from biles to fungals to peeing on buildings. The zerg actually has to target fire ontop of all this while the Terran just siege a-moves or gets a lock on and clicks away from the army. Definitely seems like a skill discrepancy here.

[@binbobby]

1st

[@AzureAiluren]

Lowko really needs to stop gaslighting people about Ravens and Terran Mech. As we can see in these games, they're just trash, easily cleaned up without ever doing any actual damage to the Zerg.

[@thomaswinston5927]

Lowko -Has with command center - hatchery whatever. Missed the one that Has would have lol

[@SalvaBarbus]

As a viewer, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more battlemech. I like it more than just marine marauder medevac game number 178265431867.

[@Pyriel2]

battlecruisers, utter shit. Almost every time someone uses them he loses. That crap should cost -30 -30

[@RavagHer]

battle cruisers. when u make a tier 3 unit into a cheese unit. u saw how he lost when he went hydras?
